Asset Overview
Wherrytown plaque on the former Mount’s Bay Inn, commemorating a vibrant community sited on what was, before 1934, the western boundary of Penzance. Although Wherrytown was indeed ‘devastated’ by the storm in 1962, the Town Council had been looking for excuses to have it ‘swept away’ since the late 19th century. Wherrytown was notable 100 years ago for its serpentine manufacture and the grand ceremonial arches which spanned the main road on special occasions; 200 years ago the ‘famous Wherry Mine’ extracted tin from beneath the rocks exposed at low tide.
